Our client, securing a lithium mining lease in Somaliland’s burgeoning $8 billion market, faced a challenge: aligning their operations with a region reeling from a severe drought-induced food crisis. Riskey stepped in, conducting comprehensive risk analysis and leveraging Open-Source intelligence to recognize the potential risks to mining operations due to water scarcity and community distress. We meticulously mapped Somaliland’s dynamics, outlining strategies to mitigate risks. Identifying crucial partnerships, we devised a plan for impactful change.
Teaming up with the Facility for Rural Water Supply and Sanitation, our client-initiated skill programs, educating locals on sustainable water conservation. This not only fortified water security but also empowered the community. The mining operations promised 3100 jobs, a beacon of hope for a region plagued by poverty. The prospect of employment offered a shot at revitalizing the local economy, uplifting many.
This success story isn’t just about business; it’s a testament to responsible corporate citizenship. Through effective risk consulting, strategic partnerships and a commitment to community welfare, our client’s venture embodies sustainable development, promising a brighter future for Somaliland.
“Sustainable mining is a commitment to integrating environmental stewardship, social responsibility, and economic prosperity.”
